  1. I think your tank isn't moving end boss away from the group. The "I've got something up my sleeve for you" part will aoe grenade the whole group. If the tank aims him away from the group, it is considerably easier. We've had HM LI on farm just in columi a week after it was released. Just goes to show tactics > gear.
  2. Actually the first comment our guild had was KP nerfed? Granted that was trash mobs though. Come to think we did have slight difficulty healing it, but I just put that down to a few mistakes on my part. Nothing noticeably harder however.
  3. I agree wholeheartedly with the OP. This game is made for people who enjoy alt-aholics and the storyline. Unfortunately you guys are the 1% of gamers, and this game reflects the market. It is slowly dying. One thing is certain, what you just described is single player and should be F2P. For my 15 a month I expect end game content and challenges with things to do inbetween other things. As it stand I hang around fleet for an hour just to get a tank.
  4. The answer is obvious. The developers, if communicating the issues/problems/future of this game would lose more subscribers than remaining silent and ignoring community questions. Hence, the leser of two evils, leave us in the dark, without communication or direction and slightly fewer will leave. This game, unless drastic customer service, representatives and in-game issues are resolved, will not retain a million subs past 2012. I can tell you this right now as well, Project Titan already has my sub. TOR is unfortunately a filler, a very expensive one at that for the shareholders of BW.
  5. I expected the free mainhand construction kit to be relatively worthless as it was given out free, but it is utterly worthless considering there are greens better. I thought I hit the jackpot with a Birthright Hand kit from a TH yeild, alas it is a level 30 only item with stats on it and it isnt even modable. BW stuffed up big time, they shouldve just copied WoW's idea outright (levels with your character), they are with everything else. Only if the items levelled with your character so you didnt have to spend creds or comms to upgrade it, would it be worth 200 daily comms. As it stands they're hardly worth 20.
  6. I'm finding, as are others, that on my server there is a lack of tanks wanting to run HMs (specifically on Master Dar'Nala). Whether this is because they are already geared and do not require the flashpoints, or whether it is because there is purely a tanking shortage, I do not know. I did resquest a simple hands up of tanks on fleet and of 188 people on at the time only 1 was a tank. The fact of the matter remains that my alt DPS character and even my Rakata geared healer is unable to run any flashpoints at 50, I struggle to even complete the weekly once the limited supply of tanks who are completing it runs out. I started thinking that there needs to be something added to flashpoints to make it more appealing for geared tanks to participate. Whether that be implementation of Rakata commendations, as the gear tiers have gone up one, or something else. At the end of the day I can only really put up with 15 minutes of waiting around before I get bored and find something else to do (which is usually go and play another game), last night I spent an hour (as did the rest of my group) waiting for a tank to show themselves or interest in tanking. I only received a response (single) when offering a cash reward for tanking, but was unsuccessful in negotiating a fair price. So to sum up, my experience as DPS and even a healer now is that I sit on fleet at 50 for perhaps hours on end just attempting to form a group for a flashpoint. It is currently a very boring 'game' and I see no resolution to this issue on my end. I have played other MMOs and tanks have always seemed short, but never as bad as this. Currently end-game flashpoint is slow, and whilst I appreciate BW believe a LFG tool will resolve this - their lateral thought pattern wont work until cross-server is implemented, and thats being optimistic. Fact of the matter is for myself, unless things change I will be un-subbing soon. Troll away or perhaps feel free to post something contructive! (LOL, like that is actually going to happen)
  7. I have 400 artifice and biochem. The high end artifice require materials I have never seen to make +41 crystals. I suppose you may have luck making mods/hilts and such to sell. But most of these drop quite easily in dailies now and lock boxes or just planet commendations. I've made a few augmented lightsabers for myself and my healer. But tbh there really isn't much I cbf doing to try and make money with him. Compared to my biochem toon, with the new fixes to grade 5 bio ingrediants. Stims are a cake walk to comp farm for and create, then sell on GTN. EDIT: I did make myself some really nice Relics, non augment crit though unfortunately. Theyre BoP too, so alas unless theyre made into BoE cant do much with them.
  8. Lack of end game content. Lack of alternative levelling planets/zones (it gets old doing the same quests to level) PvP inbalance, the 1.2 nerfs effectively ruined healing in pvp and turned it into a massive 'whoever is more geared and does better dps wins' Minor glitches/broken items (eg. rakata chest is still not displaying as red properly) that when totalled turn into a massive problem and causes a negative thought pattern in ones head. These minor issues should be easily fixed. Patch outages (prime time euro and oceanic) and CEO indicates that staggered time zones arent even on the cards? I would almost trade in my latency for staggered. Almost. Patches causing more game breakages than fixing them. Emergency patches, aussies know to expect their Friday nights to be dedicated to another patch outage following each patch Tuesday. This alone shows that BW are not taking this seriously, theyre leaving the community in the dark. So communication is a big thing they need to brush up on. Ticket system - always referred to devs, never spoken to by a GM with alternatives. The whole game still feels like it is in Beta.
  9. I'm confused, you want another transfer as an Aussie? It's bloody great how populated our servers are. If we have twice the number of servers we have already, it wouldnt be long before we start experiencing de-population and un-subs. The american servers are models for this, hence why BW only gave us 1 of each type (PvP,PvE and RP). They are expecting a massive de-population, it has already begun, just delayed by 4 months because of the delayed release. The yanks are in crisis mode because what I've seen, there are only a few populated servers and the remaining few who retain on their low pop dont want to reroll. And why should they. The beta test was done on the aussies, it should be full steam ahead for the us blokes now. At the end of the day though, TOR is only retaining it's fan club and those yet to experience the HM EV/KP/EC. I'm full Rakata on my main and the only thing that has kept me interested is getting another alt to 50 and now gearing. Truth be told though, unless more end content and massive fixes are brought into play ASAP, this game will continue to dribble into practical non existance. Don't forget that GW2 and other upcomming MMO competitors will steal further players, of that you can bank on. The only thing keeping me here is that, #1: I dont want to go back to WoW. #2: It truely is a filler unless things change. #3: Activision-Blizzard are working on their next MMO (which will probably lure me once released)
  10. You sir, are the minority that is not catered to. I suggest finding another game that you and your wife can, 'solo'.
  11. Pretty sure you end up with a few levelling along the way as well from quest rewards.
  12. You unsubbed soley because the colour of the chestpiece is not red? It is irratating to say the least, but lets be honest, it isnt game breaking like other issues. However, it should be a simple fix. If it is of any use to devs, cinematics sometimes show my chest as red. But other times and just running around its grey.
  13. First they need to refine the Hero engine so that it doesnt lower FPS to 2 when something involves more than 50 people. Companions were removed as a band-aid from the resulting poor performance when in Ilum. I can't forsee them returning any time soon unless the developers can resolve issues that are causing many players to leave, then spend alot of time refining the engine.
  14. The day they actually test a patch before implementation is the day they actually release a patch that doesnt break and require an emergency patch. And as usual it excretes on oceanic time zone.
  15. Master Dar'Nala here. Selling for 1 million on imperial side. PM for details.
